I am Voltron

I used to love this guy as a kid. Well, I guess it was made of several guys. Anytime something from space would threaten the existence of this planet these guys would come to the rescue. Five different cat robots would fight the enemy, realize they couldn't do it as individuals, so they would join together into this giant robot, yelling "Voltron, defender of the universe!" I loved this cartoon as much as my chocolate chip cookies. I would pretend to slash at my enemies with this "blazing sword" for hours as a kid.

Well, unfortunately for me and those in my wake, I took this same cavalier attitude in my spiritual life. Anytime someone threatened my doctrine or beliefs, it was time to "FORM BLAZING SWORD!" As Voltron would say. I then would chop my enemies down until I felt like Leo Decaprio yelling, "I'm king of the world."

Needless to say (although I'll say it), I had the wrong attitude. Folks, although I have in the past, I don't pretend to know all the right answers. How can I? You see one godly preacher saying and believing one thing, you see another preaching something else. I don't imagine one is any less godly than the other. Yet, each feels spiritually led to a certain conclusion. Something about that forces me to let go of my pride. Which I think is a good thing.
